Because he is waiting for his stipend to
come from the government and when that
stipend comes it is spent as quickly. and if
he comes from poor house he lapses back
into that position and waits for another
stipend. Humanity only needs to be en-
couraged to do nothing We are all liable
to drop into do-nothing policy If we can
get somebody to support us, and it is not
good public policy for us to legislate to en-

but the Council is tranquil.
Special to the Globe.
BISMARCK, OAK, Feb. 24.-There was a
tilt in the house to-day between Aikens and
Adams, in committee of the whole. over
Adams bill providing that in case Of rail-
road collisions. where bodies of dead were
marked with signs of fire, the railroad COM
pany should be liable to prosecution on the
ground of negligence. Adams stated that
the object of the bill was to cause railroad
companies to supply their cars with the
latest methods Of heating, Mr.. Aikens
made strong protest against the passage
of the bill, stating that in cases where
people were killed i'll railroad collisions
by other causes than fire, the COM
pany would be liable to prosecution
if their bodies bore signs of
fire. and that in case train was struck by
lightning, cause over which the company
had no control. and their train burned,
under the provisions of the bill the com.
pany would be liable to prosecution. Mr..
Adams created something of an excitement
by stating that the latter suppoSition was not
to be considered. since trains In this country
ran SO fast thai lightning could not strike
them. After this assertion the house was
ready for action and motion was made to
indefinitely postpone the bill. The motion
prevailed on a vote of Is to IA, House bill
1917, introduced by Glendenning, of Kings
bury county, providing for an appropria-
of 500, 900 for college at Brookings, was
passed as amended. The amendment cuts
the appropriation down to S54, 900. 1t Is
the intention Of the management of this
college to establish with a portion of this
money, if the bill passes the council,
AN AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT
to school and train pupils in the science Of
farming and stock raising. This is one of
the most prosperous and promising schools
in the territory, but the intention to add an
agricultural department is severely criti-
cised by many members of the legislature.

IN THE S SENATE.
Pleuro- Pneumonia Discussed but
No Definite Action Taken.

WASHiNGTON, Feb. 24.-Ihe house SUBJ
stitute for the fishery retaliation bill was
disagreed to and conference asked
Messrs. Edmunds, Frye and Morgan were
appointed senate conferees. The house bill
to provide a term of couIt at Duluth, Mimi,
was reported back from the judiciary COM
mittee ana placed on the calendar. The
bill and amendments then went over until
tomorrow. A resolution declaring Senator
ingalls, chosen president pro tenn of the
senate was laid over until tomorrow.
Various house and senate bills were then
passed. including one authorizing the Chi
cago, st. Paul, Minneapolis u Omaha rail-
road to bridge the Missouri at Sioux
City, La, and one granting right
of way to the Rocky Fork &
Cook City railroad through part of the
Crow reservation in Montana. The senate
then proceeded to the consideration of the
senate bill to eXtirpate contagious pleuro-
pneumonia, foot and mouth diseases and
rinderpest among cattle, and to facilitate
the expectation of cattle and products of
live stock. Mr.. Miller stated that contag-
passed the Allegheny mountains, and now
existed in the city of Chicago. He had
also seen published statements as to its ex-
istence in the state of Missouri. He favored
liberal appropriation for stamping out the
disease. Mr.. Vest denied that there was
any pleuro-pneumonia in Missouri. Mr.
CullOm said there was no doubt the disease
prevailed to some extent in the state of Ill
inoS, and that IL had broken out very yio-
lently in the city of Chicago dur
ing the winter and last fall. 1t
could not be controlled by any piece meal
action on the part OF a single state. He
was in favor of national legislation on the
subject as the only way of dealing effectively
with it. He moved to amend the bill by
placing the appointment of the commission
ers land other powers in the bilD in the
hands of the president of the United States,
instead OF the commissioner OF agriculture.
Mr.. Butler, in opposing the bill, expressed
his belief that the reports as to the danger
from pleurO- pneumonia were exaggerated,
and that the clamor was made for pur-
pose-tnat purpose being to enable certain
people to get their hands into the treasury
In payment for cattle which they could not
otherwise dispose of. MI Edmunds gave
notice of all amendment which he would
offer as substitute for the bill. 1t proposed
an appropriation of 81, 1000, 900 to be eX.
pended under the direction of the president
and in his discretion through the commits
sioner of agriculture, to aid the authorities
of, the several states in preventing the
spread of pleuro-pneumonia, the appropria-
tion to expire in two years The bill was
amended so as to have the commissioners
appointed by the president of the United
States (without the necessity of confrma-
tion by the senate). Various amendments
to the bill giving the president OF the United
States the authority which had been pro-
posed to be given to the commissioners of
agriculture were agreed to. Without fur
ther action the senate adjourned.

blows were exchanged. when, i'll lodging,
